we hit that debt ceiling and now it's about the debt limit. >> we hit it in technically in december but in order to keep paying the bills the government delayed some payments so it looks like we'll hit that ceiling or that limit again in mid february. congress has got to do something about that. the house is back today. republicans are going to push for spending cuts. remember their mantra has been no more borrowing without limiting what we're spending and among spending cuts they are likely to look at social security this time. >> there's also some trouble on capitol hill ahead of chuck hagel's confirmation hearing. >> the confirmation hearings we have coming up at least three of them. chuck hagel could be the most difficult because democrats and republicans here have some challenges and lots of questions for him. still they say about the stance on iran and things he said about iraq and israel and whether he stands close enough with israel as ally. the white house is confident he'll be confirmed. it's not going to be an easy process. >> one month since the school shooting at sandy hook
